Elena’s POV

“What’s going on?” Zack ran a hand through his hair, his brow furrowed in confusion.

“Honey, what are you doing with this traitor?” Tiana cried. She rushed to Zack’s side, seizing his hand tightly.

My face felt cold and exposed with my mask lying on the floor. After years of being 'Dr. Willow,' being Elena again felt like having my skin peeled back.

“I knew there was something pretentious about you, Elena.” Tiana sneered. Fooling us all along to think you’re some renowned healer.”

  • The Alpha’s Secret Triplets   Clarity?

    Elena’s POVNathan’s words hung in the air, it was a light, almost teasing contrast to the suffocating dread that had been squeezing my lungs.I tried to summon a professional smile, but my heart was still hammering against my ribs. "I could say the same, Dr. Hayes."Before I could say anything else, Mrs. Evans gestured toward the open door of her office. "Now that we're all here, please, come inside."Caleb stood up slowly. I watched him closely, my medical instincts overriding my anxiety for a brief second. He kept his left hand shoved deep into his uniform pocket, and his shoulder was high and tense. I could see the subtle tremor in his forearm. The phantom pain was flaring up. To Caleb's traumatized nervous system, that hand didn't feel cured; it felt like a ten-pound block of solid stone, cold, heavy, and agonizingly stiff. It was a severe nerve involvement, his brain desperately clinging to the memory of the petrification. He wasn't hiding his hand to keep people from seeing

  • The Alpha’s Secret Triplets   We meet again

    Elena’s POVI swallowed hard, closing my eyes. I didn't mean... I wasn't... No. I wasn't replacing Zack, no one ever could. No one in this shiny, busy city would ever have survived together.I exhaled slowly, letting my hand drop from the collar. "You're still my home, Zack."The stone remained warm against my skin, beating steadily, as if someone beyond the northern horizon had heard me.By the time I left the hospital, the afternoon sun had begun its slow descent toward the grey horizon of the ocean. The city buzzed with the frantic energy of rush-hour traffic, the horns and engines were a dull, distant hum behind the quiet protection of my car windows.My mind was already running through the evening's checklist. I still needed to stop by the market for groceries. Colin had asked for another bottle of heavy-duty engine degreaser yesterday; I still had no idea how one teenager managed to go through so much of the stuff on that old Ford. Cindy had mentioned needing more hot glue and

  • The Alpha’s Secret Triplets   Guilt or attraction?

    Elena's POVThe medical library was my favorite room in the hospital. It wasn't because of the books, but it was the silence.Not the heavy, suffocating silence of the mountain after a hunt, nor the lonely silence that settled over the house after the triplets had gone to school. This silence was different; It hummed with purpose. Every shelf held decades of people trying to understand why the human body betrayed itself.It felt... hopeful.I slid another journal back into its place on the shelf, as my finger lingering over the faded gold lettering on its spine."Neuroplasticity in Acquired Motor Disorders."“Interesting.” I muttered to myself.I sighed, balancing two more textbooks against my hip before reaching for another."Looking for anything specific, Dr. Willow?"I glanced over my shoulder at Mrs. Harris, the elderly librarian."Rare neurodegenerative conditions," I answered with a smile. "Something that doesn't immediately blame everything on genetics."She chuckled. "If you

  • The Alpha’s Secret Triplets   New beginning

    Elena’s POVThe drive out of the valley was different from the one we had taken nine years ago.Back then, the back seat of the old station wagon had been filled with cardboard boxes of stolen medical supplies, three crying toddlers, and a silence so thick it felt like dry sand in our throats. Zack had spent the last hours of the night convincing me to go.He didn’t do it with the roaring authority of an Alpha, or even the stubborn pride of the man I had spent my youth fighting. He had done it in a whisper, his forehead was resting against mine.“They need to see what a normal life looks like, Elena,” he had murmured. “They’ve spent their childhood hiding from my shadow, and their youth fighting monsters. Give them a year where the only thing they have to worry about is a biology test. Please.”“I’ll come back,” I had promised him, my fingers digging into his torn shirt until my knuckles turned white. “Every month, Zack. I’m not leaving you up here all alone.”“I’ll be waiting,” he h

    Elena‘s POV“And who decided that?” I asked, my voice rising, thick with a sob I couldn't hold back anymore. I grabbed his shirt tighter, twisting the coarse fabric in my hands. “Who decided you don't get to be forgiven, Zack? Is it the mountain, or is it just your own stupid pride? You think carrying all this guilt on your own makes you strong? It doesn't. It just makes you a coward.”Zack flinched, his head tilted back slightly as if I had physically struck him. His lips parted, but no sound came out.“You spent nine years letting me believe you were a monster because it was easier for you to carry the blame than to face us,” I whispered, my chest heaving as I looked up into his icy blue eyes. “If you throw away our feelings now, if you tell me to go find some other man just so you can feel clean up here in your self-inflicted prison... then you are throwing away everything we bled for.”Zack’s eyes closed. His chest rose in a long, shuddering breath, and when he opened them again

  • The Alpha’s Secret Triplets   I can't leave you

    Elena’s POVThe silence that followed the pack’s departure was heavier than the noise of their transition.Marcus had gathered the kneeling wolves, his old eyes lingering on Zack one last time before he turned them back toward the lower valley. Julian had taken the triplets down the SUV. They were tired, and rightly so. I could see them from the distance; Colin was sitting on the bumper with his head in his hands, Cindy was leaning against his shoulder, and Caleb was standing perfectly still, watching the pale yellow rising sun. He was staring at his fingers, still trying to understand the boundary where his flesh ended and the mountain began."Elena."The voice didn't come from behind me. It came from the stone itself, vibrating up through the soles of my boots before it reached my ears.I turned back to the altar.Zack’s eyes were open. He looked smaller now, stripped of the terrifying, golden-red light of the ritual. His human shoulders were slightly slumped, and his shirt was tor

    Elena’s POVEven though my children were grown and almost my height, I instinctively shielded them from my uncle, pulling them together behind me. My hand pressed back against Colin’s chest, feeling the heat radiating from him, while my other arm kept Cindy and Caleb pinned close."Uncle Kael, ple

    Elena’s POVSoon enough, we arrived at Rashford territory; my childhood cage."Mom?" Cindy’s voice came from the back of the car seat. She had her knees pulled to her chest, her nose-canceling headphones resting around her neck. "The air... it feels thick. Like I’m breathing water.""It’s the swamp

    Zack’s POVWith every pulse of the corporate rig, the mountain beneath our feet groaned like a waking beast pulling itself out of a deep grave. The sheer force of it made the soles of my boots thrum.And then, they fell from the sky.The first Synthetic wolf landed ten feet away with a bone-jarring

    Elena’s POVI could only stand there and watch as my partner marked another, and there was nothing I could do.***The hall fell unnaturally silent. Even the elders straightened as the Alpha stepped forward.“Now,” the Alpha’s voice rang out, vibrating with authority that jolted me back to reality.
